Manenberg police were alerted of a shooting incident in Ondine Court, that left a 23 year old woman and her 8 month old baby wounded at the weekend.
It is alleged that an argument ensued, between the victim, and her ex boyfriend.
The victim was holding her eight month old baby when the suspect drew fire, fatally wounding the woman.
Winifred Williams sustained wounds in the chest and the baby, in his right upper leg.
The two were taken to Grootte Schuur and Red Cross hospitals where Williams died later.
Police later arrested the 28 year old male and recovered the firearm used with ammunition; that was reported as stolen in Nyanga.
The suspect will appear in the Athlone Magistrate’s court tomorrow and faces charges of murder, attempted murder, and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
